We’ve curated one of our previous blogs: Got flies? Five hot spots for fly activity in food processing facilities into a bite sized infographic which will assist you in recognizing fly hot spots, and how you can mitigate the problem.

It’s not news that flies are one of the most annoying pests you can encounter and the knowledge that they use faeces, garbage and dead animals (amongst other disgusting filth)for reproductive purposes only heightens our abhorrence of them.

Good hygiene and food safety practices in these environments are critical, and the failure to adhere to them could make or break your business, as the  failure to manage fly infestation could result in the possibility of food-borne diseases spreading to the masses.
